Star Spangled Banner - Phish
5.31.09 - Fenway Park, Boston, MA

Yeah, that was pretty sweet!

With Todd and Graham, Butter Rooming it up. Instead, my consecutive show streak has ended at 11 and I’m back in Chicago. Tonight’s Phish show is absolutely raging, and not surprisingly. Tuesday’s show was some of the best live music I’ve seen this decade, and Saturday at Fenway wasn’t too shabby. With each show they seem to be picking up more steam and laser focus with the jams. Oh well, back at it on Tuesday in Asheville and on tour for 13 days.

In the meantime, I’m streaming the show and drinking a few brews here at home.

Side Note: Joel had to be back in Chicago so we drove home yesterday (a very long day). Todd and Graham may be the coolest guys I know as they were going to pay for me to fly back today, use their tickets, stay in their hotel, and see tonight and Friday’s shows. Unfortunately flights were $450 and it made no sense, but that was probably the kindest offer of my life. I know they are rocking out hard this evening.

Tonight was one of the most epic concert experiences of my life.  Saturday at Fenway was great, but tonight was something for the ages.  And this is only the second show of the tour?!?!
